We Need No Harps
by Hey Barnabas!, Melissa T, Eric McAllister

Album: Gather, Pray & Eat

Verse 1
What melodies rise from our weeping
How can we sing when we're so far from home
What gives our grief purpose and meaning?:
That Israel's God ransomed us as His own.

Verse 2
Children of God, do not get weary
Until your earthly work is done
For here we have no lasting city
That which we seek is yet to come
Even through tears, we labor on
We're only passing through this Babylon

Chorus
We need no harps to help us sing
Salvation's song in a strange land
Lift up your hearts to Zion's King
Soon we'll behold new Jerusalem

Verse 3
So be prepared, watchful and sober
Walk in this time as beloved exiles
Our troubles here soon will be over
Our Liberator will soon crack the sky
Often struck down, never destroyed
We journey on in the strength of His joy

Chorus
We need no harps to help us sing
Salvation's song in a strange land
Lift up your hearts to Zion's King
Soon we'll behold new Jerusalem

Bridge 1
Our redemption's at hand
Sing your way to the promised land
Our redemption's at hand
Soon we'll see new Jerusalem

Verse 4
Christ will avenge every injustice
When He returns all our suffering will end
We'll sing a new song to Him who loved us
Glory and honor to God and the Lamb
Praise and dominion, forever, amen!

Chorus
We need no harps to help us sing
Salvation's song in a strange land
Lift up your hearts to Zion's King
Soon we'll behold new Jerusalem

Bridge 1
Our redemption's at hand
Sing your way to the promised land
Our redemption's at hand
Soon we'll see new Jerusalem

Bridge 2
Saints of God, carry on
We're just passing through Babylon
Our redemption's at hand
Soon we'll see new Jerusalem
